I was admiring and ogling at the diamond jewelry on display at Oro China when the bugger asked. "Why don't you buy, Ma?" "They're expensive", I replied. "I will have to get work to afford that". "But you are a housewife!", he quipped.

While thinking of where to grab meatless lunch, I caught a glimpse of CNT Lechon restaurant. "Let's have lunch there!" I taunted hubby and son. "Let's go!" Son agreed and added "lechon skin is not meat anyway."
